Bergamot Mint has a fresh citrus aroma with subtle minty undertones. It has a calming, yet uplifting effect on the emotions. Also helpful for respiratory and digestive problems including nausea, the immune system, menopausal symptoms and sore muscles.

The essential oil has a fresh, citrus (Bergamot-like) aroma with gentle minty, herbal undertones. Although belonging to the mint family, Mentha citrata oil contains only 1-2% menthol and small traces of cineole, making it far gentler and less intense than other mint oils. It has similar chemistry and properties to Lavender essential oil and can either be used as an alternative to Lavender oil, or in conjunction with Lavender to produce lovely synergistic blends.
